The Nigeria Police Force has commenced the sitting of its Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) to review pending cases involving 167 senior officers over alleged breaches of professional conduct and related offences.
The exercise, currently underway at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, is part of ongoing efforts by the Force to strengthen internal accountability, enforce discipline, and uphold professional standards.
The FDC, a key internal mechanism of the Force, is tasked with reviewing and determining disciplinary cases involving officers of the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above. The committee ensures that all cases are handled through a thorough, transparent, and fair process in line with existing laws and regulations, with appropriate recommendations forwarded to the Police Service Commission.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to discipline, integrity, and professionalism, stressing that no officer found culpable of misconduct would be shielded from due process.
He noted that the ongoing disciplinary proceedings are part of broader institutional reforms aimed at strengthening internal control mechanisms, promoting ethical conduct, and enhancing public confidence in the Force.
The Nigeria Police Force reiterated its resolve to uphold the highest standards of accountability and service, ensuring that all officers conduct themselves in line with the core values of the profession.
